potato

Years ago I read this book called potatoes not prozac.... the premise is you eat a small skin on potato every night before bed.

Well this week I found a new type of potato in a steamer bag that cooks in 10 minutes, so I gave it a try. It may have actually worked a little bit. During an INSANELY stressful week,I stayed cheerful.

Just a thought. Really I am not spamming for the potato industry.

Sounds like an interesting concept Cookiegal, I think I might just put it to the test!  Thanks.

Did you smother it in sour cream, bacon bits, butter and green onion?

VERY interesting......

Potatoes are comfort food....especially baked potatoes with butter and lots of salt!!!

I have to admit, I got a chuckle out of this one.  But hey if it works, awesome! 

Right now if I can't, I drink hot cocoa.  Seems to be working NJ

I think the theory is that something in the skin is a natural anti depressant. Actually the steamer spuds had less calories than I would expect. (The are small, a little bigger than fingerlings)

For all I know it could be a placebo effect.

For the record I put a little shredded parmesan on.

I am a parmasean addict.

Again I am not saying this is a magic cure for anything...but I had a decent week when I would have really expected to be at my wit's end.

I just make my baked potatoes in the microwave. Depending on the size and how many cook for 5-8+ minutes till they are still a bit firm. Remove from microwave & wrap in tin foil and let sit for 2 minutes.
